Politics

While that is funny, MAGA literally picked the epitome of the Swamp to run against him. Paxton is a trash human being and hopefully all his transgressions get aired really, really well in Texas. I'm no Talarico fan (yet), but he at least seems to be a good person.
So, once again, it goes to whether or not you wanna vote for a "douche bag or sheet sandwich." Awesome!!
 
Long but interesting read, I let AI summarize it

The Death of France - The Secret Report Macron Is Hiding

May 24, 2026

The traditional, romantic image of Paris is allegedly fading, replaced by parallel societies in districts like Saint-Denis and Marseille. According to the text, French law enforcement and emergency services now require backup or disguises to enter these areas. Intelligence services have mapped numerous such enclaves across hundreds of cities, housing millions of people living outside mainstream French cultural norms.

In April 2024, a 73-page classified report titled “Frères Musulmans et Islamisme Politique en France” (The Muslim Brotherhood and Political Islam in France) was delivered to President Emmanuel Macron, detailing a coordinated plan to systematically transition France from within. Though initially kept private, the document leaked to Le Figaro in May 2025. The text outlines this strategy through the following stages:

Stage One: The Prey​

The Muslim Brotherhood's strategy targets vulnerable, lower-income individuals by offering community infrastructure rather than immediate religious doctrine. Through affiliated temp agencies, sports clubs, and personal development workshops, they establish trust and structural support. This ecosystem fosters deep devotion, contributing to a rising number of native-born French converts seeking stability, which combines with higher birth rates and immigration trends to shift regional demographics.

Stage Two: Build the World​

To secure these identities, the Brotherhood constructs a self-sustaining parallel society featuring its own schools, clinics, businesses, and social services. In these spaces, social pressure replaces physical enforcement; non-compliance with conservative religious norms results in community ostracization. Consequently, secular state authority and republican values are rendered secondary or irrelevant within these neighborhoods.

Stage Three: The infiltration of the state from within​

The strategy transitions into "entryism," where operatives participate in local democratic processes—such as school boards and municipal councils—to influence public policy and redirect resources. The text asserts this network is overseen by a clandestine leadership known as the "Council of Judges." Cited examples include a late-2025 criminal investigation in the Paris suburb of Colombes regarding the alleged redirection of public funds to Brotherhood-aligned organizations, alongside ongoing challenges to secular curriculums in public schools.

Stage Four: The Foreign Hand​

The infrastructure is heavily subsidized by foreign states, primarily Turkey and Qatar. Turkey's Directorate of Religious Affairs (Diyanet) funds and assigns imams to deliver state-approved sermons on French soil. Simultaneously, Qatar has reportedly funneled over $100 million into European Islamic centers and educational institutions, while holding substantial leverage through major investments in French real estate, energy, and sports. The text links a €10 billion Qatari investment deal in early 2024 to France's subsequent shift toward recognizing Palestinian statehood.

Stage Five: The Useful Idiots​

The text argues that the Brotherhood utilizes a defensive strategy of "dissimulation, double-discourse, and victimization," heavily leveraging accusations of "Islamophobia" to paralyze Western institutional resistance. Progressive political figures and media outlets are criticized for allegedly overlooking institutional infiltration and subsidizing these networks in exchange for local electoral support.

Stage Six: The Silence of Macron​

President Macron is accused of delaying decisive action against the foreign funding networks to avoid alienating key voting blocs. Following the 2025 leak, diplomatic reassurances were sent abroad, and a subsequent domestic ban on appointing foreign-trained imams was implemented. The text dismisses this measure as ineffective, noting that the Brotherhood already trains its leadership domestically within France.

Stage Seven: The Endgame​

The text concludes that this dynamic extends beyond France, pointing to similar security and legislative debates regarding Muslim Brotherhood networks in Sweden, Germany, and the European Parliament. With surveys suggesting a majority of young French Muslims prioritize Sharia over secular law, the article argues that France's domestic shifts have ultimately altered its foreign policy, traditional alliances, and foundational cultural identity, characterizing the current trajectory as a voluntary civilizational retreat.
I read the whole thing...you're welcome.
This is also happening in the U.S. with states like Minnesota and of course, NYC.
 
I'm not super in the know with the politics game. Does this have the ability to climb to the US Supreme Court? I would think it would get shot down pretty easily. But the CA Supreme Court likely blesses it. this seems like a slam dunk if it goes to Washington

Yes, absolutely. If the "Stop Nick Shirley Act" (California Assembly Bill 2624) passes into law, it can absolutely be challenged, blocked, or completely overturned by both the California higher courts and the U.S. Supreme Court.

Because the bill sits right at the intersection of privacy, harassment, and journalism, it is a prime target for a major constitutional showdown. Here is exactly how the courts can stop it and why it is highly likely they will intervene.

Yes, but... it'll likely take years to very slowly make it's way thru various appeals and state level courts.

Even if SCOTUS tries to fast track it, before they can do anything there's going to be injunctions and a case at the state level that will gum it up for many months.


California's best bet to repeal it would be if Hilton won the Governors race and fast tracked a referendum measure... even that'd be 18-24 months though.
 
@PrinceVegeta now Colombia is on its way to get rid of its communist leadership as well. There's no way the leading candidate from the right is losing the second round with these results

Far-right candidate Abelardo de la Espriella won the first round of Colombia’s presidential election and will face leftist Senator Ivan Cepeda in a run-off vote on June 21, according to the preliminary count.

With 99% of the votes counted, De la Espriella received the support of 43.7% of Colombia’s voters.

Cepeda received 40.9% of the votes and defeated the establishment candidate.

Support for far-right Senator Paloma Valencia, who had been polled as De la Espriella’s immediate contender, imploded. The Uribista candidate received less than 7% of the votes.

Don't be surprised that many of the votes for the Right wing candidate comes from Colombians living the U.S.

Ha, didn't know they're allowed to.

That's 7 South and Central America countries that voted out their left wing or worse governments in only 2.5 years: Argentina, Panama, Bolivia, Honduras, Chile, Costa Rica and now probably Colombia

Yeah, it's because Colombia allows for their Nationals to vote outside of Colombia at one of their Consulate, whether or not they were born in Colombia.
